<mode="Troll"> It snowed fairly heavily last night. And I just had to go out and have some fun in my Subaru. So I back my Dads Focus out of the tiny driveway, and it got stuck. Immediately. Finally got it out of the way and my car out, parking my car in a big snow mound. Then worked on getting Dads Focus back into the driveway, which took some effort. I then got into my Subaru and drove off like there wasn't even any snow at all. It was great! </mode>

To be honest though, I brought a shovel with me incase my Subaru got stuck too. I'd never driven in that much snow so I was worried, plus I have really crappy all seasons, and no LSDs (aside from center). But surprisingly the car never got stuck. Even in ~1 foot of snow the car kept going. I did get 'stuck' once, I came up to a stop sign on a hill, stopped at it. Then tried to go, and the car went off fine but started to go sideways, then stop progressing. So I stopped, then started again and it was fine.


<attempt="Redeem Myself">Why is it Ford never offered an AWD version of the Focus they rally? I think that would have been tons of fun. Especially seeing how well it's doing in the WRC. <3 Gronholm.</attempt>

Question: How do you get unstuck with a FWD open diff car? I've heard things like touching the brakes to keep one wheel from spinning, does this work?
